Ferdinand II 2-1/4 Taler 1622 XF45 NGC, St. Veit mint, Dav-Unlisted, Montenuovo-752. A rare Showtaler struck upon the marriage of Ferdinand and Eleonora of Mantua with some weakness of detail to one side and light overall wear. A die break delineates the beginning of the weak area. Light tone is located throughout and deepens into protected areas in the design. A rare offering with an excellent pedigree.
